Mombo Camp, Botswana

Mombo Camp and the Little Mombo Camp in Botswana's Okavanga Delta is built under large, shady trees overlooking a floodplain generally filled with life.

The Camp, which has recently been rated by Travel and Leisure as the world's best hotel, has nine spacious en-suite tents which are raised two metres from the ground, a long veranda, a sala and indoor and outdoor showers.

Mombo Camp's main living, bar and dining areas are under thatch, while the boma adds traditional flavour to a delicious dinner under the stars. There are two plunge pools in which to soak and a gym to work off the excellent food.

Mombo is known as the “place of plenty”, highlighted by the massive concentrations of plains game and predators that can be seen. These include all the big cats of which lion sightings are frequent.

You can also expect to see leopard and cheetah, spotted hyaena, large herds of buffalo, elephant, white rhino, giraffe, blue wildebeest, Burchell's zebra and much more.

Birdlife is prolific around Mombo with African Jacana, pygmy-geese, goliath heron and migrant waders in summer being particularly common.
